Do you believe it was a Boeing 757 that hit the Pentagon on 9/11?

Question

In my mind there are still many embarrassing problems that remain concerning the official account, explaination concerning the Pentagon strike many of which are also omitted in the report issued by the 9/11 commission.

On Aug 6, 2006 The Washington Post a paper of national record reported the following, quote:
"Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate."

In this same report former Governor of New Jersey and Chairman of the 9/11 commission Thomas Kean said this, quote:

"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us."

"It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."

loose ends?

WOW! My first response comes from someone who knew not one but TWO of the 53 passengers whom were said to have been aboard flight 77!?
The likelihood of this is simply uncanny! Or perhaps just as conspiratorial as a Boeing 757 having hit the Pentagon.

PS ... would they not have recovered these mortal remains from inside the airliner? You have said here they were recovered from inside the building? Sorry, but the BS meter is kicking in.

Answer 1

There are many different possible scenarios for the Pentagon attack. I have found too many outright lies & mistaken assumptions & conclusions from all sides of this debate to be able to form a conclusive opinion to your question.

I believe it was a 757 sized plane that hit the Pentagon. I base this on the locations of the damage to the light poles & generator. the smoke coming out of (an engine?) showing in the video just prior to impact, & the testimony of Norman Mineta at the 9-11 hearings. I have also seen close-up video of scarring on the face of the building consistent with an airliner impact, although that video may have been a fake. (ANY of the individual videos of that day could possibly have been faked.)

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the 9-11 Commission Report is a whitewash or that NORAD personnel & other witnesses lied to us & before the Commission. Evidently 8 of the 11 who served on it feel the same way as they & hundreds of other prominent people in & outside of government have signed a petition to reopen the 9-11 investigation.

Additional comment: There was no intact plane for the body parts to be found inside of. Also, remember earlier this year when newly discovered body parts were found on the roof of the Deutsch Bank Building from inside the towers? Evidently not everything in the crashes was vaporized.

Answer 2

The entire investigation into the events of 9/11/2001 was mishandled and deliberately misguided. There is complete secrecy concerning the events. Even an amatuer sluth can find glaring errors and ommissions in the 9/11 Commission Report, yet the media treats this report like gospel. We still do not have:

- A coherent explaination about how NORAD reacted.
- Forensics data from the Pentagon crash.
- Forensics data about WTC1, WTC2, and WT3.
- Structural steel forensics from most of the strucutural steel.
- An official explanation of how buildings can collapse at free fall speed into their footprints. According to the report, Newtonian physics must have been suspended on 9/11/2001.

We seem to live in a world where "perception is reality." However, pereception is just beginning to catch up with reality.

Answer 3

it quite is time for a actuality verify. Conspiracy theorists love actuality, or so they declare. attempt this actuality on for length: a million) many people witnessed a 757 hit the Pentagon and have been very particular approximately that. some weren't confident precisely what they observed. Which do you pick to have self belief and why? 2) The air site visitors controllers lost a airplane they never returned got here across - did it swoop into yet another measurement or did it hit the Pentagon? or possibly they have been in on the completed element too. 3) all the individuals who died on that particular 757 could ought to be made up people, with made up employers keen to co-conspire, made up families keen to co-conspire and carry made up memorial facilities, and coverage companies that paid off on people who never quite existed interior the 1st place. Now it is one heck of a team of close-mouthed people, i ought to declare. Why is it much less complicated for you people to have self belief some darkish Machiavellian plot that should be saved secret by ability of what could ought to be hundreds of individuals than to have self belief the reality of what occurred? you notice, there are those people referred to as terrorists, oh never suggestions...

Answer 4

Yes. Because two people I knew were on the plane. They recovered their mortal remains from inside the building and I attended their funeral. It's not an academic exercise to me!

Answer 5

I find it rather strange that they found not one scrap of the plane but they did find body parts ! How does that happen ?

Answer 6

--------Proof That it was a Plane-------------

Hundreds of people stuck on I-395 saw the low-flying plane & this is well-documented in the press. The following is a direct quote from Wikipedia. The footnotes give you the source in media.

The Pentagon is surrounded by Interstate 395 and Washington Boulevard, on the side where the impact occurred. Steve Riskus witnessed the plane crash into the Pentagon, as he was driving along Washington Boulevard and stopped to take photographs moments after the impact.[21] Mary Lyman, who was on I-395, saw the airplane pass over at a "steep angle toward the ground and going fast" and then saw the cloud of smoke from the Pentagon.[22] Jim Sutherland, also on I-395, witnessed the plane pass 50 feet overhead, heading in a straight line into the Pentagon.[23] Mary Ann Owens, of Gannett News Service, was stuck in traffic near the Pentagon when she saw the airplane pass 50 to 75 feet overhead and crash into the Pentagon.[24] Another witness, Daryl Donley, saw the crash as he was driving on Washington Boulevard. Among debris that was scattered as the plane crashed, he found a "scorched green oxygen tank marked 'Cabin air. Airline use'" on the road.[24] Mr. Donley also had a camera with him, and took some of the first photographs after the crash.[25] USA Today reporter Mike Walter, while driving on Washington Boulevard, also witnessed the crash.[26] He recounted to CNN, "...looked out my window. I saw this plane, the jet, American Airlines jet coming. And I thought, this doesn't add up. It's really low. And I saw it. It just went — I mean, it was like a cruise missile with wings, it went right there and slammed right into the Pentagon. Huge explosion."[13]
Lloyd England's taxicab hit by a lightpole as American Airlines Flight 77 passed low over Washington Boulevard and crashed into the Pentagon.

Terrance Kean, who lived in a nearby apartment building, heard the noise of loud jet engines, glanced out his window, and saw "very, very large passenger jet." He watched "it just plow right into the side of the Pentagon. The nose penetrated into the portico. And then it sort of disappeared, and there was fire and smoke everywhere."[27] Terry Morin, who worked at the nearby Navy Annex, saw the airliner pass 100 feet overhead, moments before it crashed into the Pentagon.[28] Passengers aboard a Washington Metro train heading to Ronald Reagan National Airport also saw the crash and explosion, including Allen Cleveland who explained [he] "looked out the window to see a jet heading down toward the Pentagon."[14] AP reporter Dave Winslow recounted, "I saw the tail of a large airliner. ... It plowed right into the Pentagon."[29] Tim Timmerman, who is a pilot himself, noticed American Airlines markings on the aircraft as he saw it hit the Pentagon.[30] Marine Commander Mike Dobbs, who worked at the Pentagon, was on an upper level of the outer ring, looking out the window when he saw crash.[23] Other drivers on Washington Boulevard, Interstate 395, and Columbia Pike, as well as people in nearby locations such as Pentagon City, Crystal City also witnessed the crash.[22]

------Proof of Body parts------------
Workers from the fire & police dept & especially the medical examiners office found lots of body parts. The media photographed some of these events. All body parts went to the medical examiners office where DNA analysis was performed & the results matched to family members. Not all the passengers could be identified, but many were.

----------Proof That there was Plane Debris--------
There are numerous photographs of large pieces of the plane, many of these were published in the newspapers. Here’s a nice picture:

------Expert Testimony on Debris & Parts---

Blast expert Allyn E. Kilsheimer was the first structural engineer to arrive at the Pentagon after the crash and helped coordinate the emergency response. "It was absolutely a plane, and I'll tell you why," says Kilsheimer, CEO of KCE Structural Engineers PC, Washington, D.C. "I saw the marks of the plane wing on the face of the building. I picked up parts of the plane with the airline markings on them. I held in my hand the tail section of the plane, and I found the black box." Kilsheimer's eyewitness account is backed up by photos of plane wreckage inside and outside the building. Kilsheimer adds: "I held parts of uniforms from crew members in my hands, including body parts. Okay?" (from Pop Mechanics Website)

------Washington Post quote----
------- (What it really means)----
The Pentagon was just trying to give the impression that it wasn't at fault in the attacks on our country. It never stated or implied that it was covering up an inside-job attack on our own country. It just mislead people as how good a job it was doing.

Answer 7

why are you using an entertainment site for trying to find out facts? yeah there may be video documentary out there on many different theories. they are all just theory though. we will never know the real truth as to what happened that day
